Basically, downstairs if someone comes, they key surrounded by a code that is for my section, however, rather than buzzing an intercom within my unit, it would brand a phone to ring. I'm trying to avoid buying a phone for solely this purpose. Just wanted to see if anyone know if there is a track I can connect my cell phone to serve this purpose.
Answers:
no, the intercom/doorbell system is hardwired in the subterranean vault, near where on earth the phone lines enter into the building...
it is wired from the dial tone side of the terminal to a 66 block, and goes into the intercom system, comes fund out of the intercom system onto the 66 block then to the inside (riser) side of the terminal up into your apartment...
as for the previous answerer, it is possible next to out expensive equiptment to connect VoIP to a door answering system, but it requires using 2 pairs of the riser cable, one to back nurture your VoIP dial tone down to the intercom system, and another to send it vertebrae up to your apartment... and verizon (or whoever your RBOC would not be happy near you using the riser cable in that process... you could also talk to your building owner, or condo board going on for running a line from your apartment to the intercom system... I have duplicate thing going on within my Condo in Miami....but you solitary can use a landline!!
I use VoIP for the past years and my cell-phone, but a short time ago for the entry downstairs, and the front-gate...we need that stupid expensive landline near AT&T....I hate it!
We talk about it at our monthy condo update, but its a no-go..I know there is a system out in attendance, but they just wanna collect money again!
